Swans Best Team 2014

[Ricochet]

by the looks of things Towers is still a long way behind a starting 22

He was listed as a Emerg a couple of times later in the year and is an outside mid rather than an inside mid. Will be up against Jetta, Biggs, Cunningham for a spot

Ah ok cheers mate

[SydneyRox]

although didn't AJ re-injure his leg this year? Is he expected for round 1?

I havent heard that one, he had surgery twice?

From the injury article AFL.com.au

Alex Johnson (knee) His first knee reconstruction failed, so he had a second bout of surgery in August, this time taking the hybrid-LARS option. He is progressing well and will start running on the Alter-G treadmill over the next couple of weeks to gradually build his strength

[Mailman the 2nd]

Yeah that's what I meant sorry but does that mean he's expected for round 1 or what....

As for Towers, I like him over Cunningham, as he's still a little slow and Biggs is still fairly fresh. I want to at least see Towers get a full debut next year :)

Copy and paste bug has got ya.

[stew42]

McGlynn in the midfield is interesting...

[Mailman the 2nd]

McGlynn in the midfield is interesting...

Probably swap him and Mitchell around at various points depending on various factors

[The_Captain]

Surely parker to start on the field over blokes like Rohan ?

[SydneyRox]

Surely parker to start on the field over blokes like Rohan ?

Yeah, I would have Goodes and Parker on the field, replacing Rohan and McGlynn respectively, but its mostly semantics.

Cheers Sydrox. Thought so!
